Chapter 312 The Princess Wants to Play Badly 8
Xie Wu Yu pursed his lips as he watched his tearful performance.
This Lu Feiyu is quite smart.
I don't know how much Mingnan heard, so he simply accepted it all and didn't try to argue, lest he make people more disgusted. He used feelings to make things clear, and seemingly every word he said was about his own selfish motives, but in fact every word was an opportunity to reveal his true feelings.
He is so handsome, and if he shows weakness and cries, even a heart as hard as stone will be softened by him.
When Xie Wu Yu saw Ming Nan didn't say anything, he suddenly felt bored.
Boring.
He retracted his gaze, his tone lowered, "Since Your Highness needs to take care of family matters, I will take my leave first."
As he was about to pass by Mingnan, his way was blocked by an arm.
He glanced at Mingnan, who tilted his head and said softly, "You asked me to come, and I came. But you left me here without even a sip of tea? Master Xie is a little too heartless."
Xie Wuyu frowned, "Your Highness is so precious, how can you be so fond of this sip of coarse tea?"
"Correct."
Mingnan looked at him frankly.
Xie Wuyu: “…”
"Someone come here--" Mingnan shouted.
Biqing and Danzhu stepped forward immediately, "Your Highness."
Mingnan glanced at Lu Feiyu, who was kneeling on the ground and refusing to get up, staring at her eagerly, and said calmly:
"Lu Cefu has committed an act of insubordination and has taken over other people's business. He has dragged his sick body around everywhere, which shows that he has become wild. In this case, he will be confined to Lanxinyuan to copy Buddhist scriptures from now on, and will be confined to reflect on his mistakes. His monthly salary will be deducted for one year, and all other salaries will be reduced by half."
Lu Feiyu opened his eyes wide in shock. This time he was really scared. "Your Highness——"
Mingnan raised his hand and interrupted him, "Take him away."
"Yes."
Biqing and Danzhu held him up on both sides.
Lu Feiyu still wanted to struggle, but these two maids were not as weak as they looked. They were both martial artists with extremely strong hands. They held his arms tightly like two iron clamps and he could not get free at all.
After all, they were in a restaurant, so he didn't dare to make too much noise. He could only go out obediently, looking back every few steps.
Mingnan never even looked at him.
Before leaving, Biqing closed the door, and the private room instantly became quiet.
Xie Wuyu took a step back and distanced himself from Mingnan, his eyes narrowed slightly, "What do you mean, Your Highness?"
"It's my turn to ask you this."
Mingnan sat down at the table without any hesitation, glanced at the untouched tea in front of him, pushed it aside, tapped the table lightly and said, "Are you really not going to treat me to a cup of tea?"
Xie Wu Yu stared at her for a moment, pursed his lips, turned around and sat back in his original seat, picked up the teapot and poured her a cup.
"drink."
The momentum seemed to be saying: You can't die from drinking.
Mingnan was amused by him. He took two sips of tea and smiled, "You seem very dissatisfied with me."
Xie Wuyu also smiled, "It is important for a person to know himself."
Mingnan nodded in agreement, "Well, I think I'm pretty good."
Xie Wuyu: “Heh.”
205: [So arrogant, hehe~]
Mingnan took two more sips of tea before putting the teacup down.
She raised her head and looked directly into Xie Wuyu's eyes, and said seriously: "I know what you are worried about. I can tell you very clearly that I have never touched those people in the backyard, including Lu Feiyu."
Xie Wu Yu was startled, then looked at her with a subtle expression, "Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? Do you think this is credible?"
Mingnan asked back: "Why is it unbelievable?"
Without waiting for Xie Wu Yu to answer, she suddenly closed her eyes. When she opened them again, a golden light suddenly shone in her eyes, which aroused people's curiosity and attracted them unconsciously.
As the golden vortex slowly turned, Xie Wuyu's mind went blank. He forgot who he was and what he was doing. He seemed to have turned into a speck of dust between heaven and earth.
Until a clear and majestic call came to my ears: "Xie Wuyu——"
Xie Wu Yu's breath choked and he suddenly broke free from that state.
The scene in front of him gradually became clear. He looked at Mingnan's still golden eyes, and felt a chill on his back. His tone also turned cold. "What did you do?"
"I didn't do anything to you. I just used some tricks on those people in the backyard to make them think that something happened between me and them, so that they wouldn't secretly complain to their master and plant spies in my backyard."
Mingnan revealed the shocking secret in a calm tone.
Xie Wuyu was surprised, "Then Lu Feiyu..."
"I didn't use pupil techniques on him, nor did I touch him. Before..."
Mingnan paused.
Everyone in the family knew about the original owner's previous kindness to Lu Feiyu. If she denied it now, Xie Wuyu would find someone to ask in the future and find out. Then it would be like she was concealing and deceiving others, which was inappropriate.
The original owner had done it, but now she was using the body and she couldn't deny what had happened.
After thinking for a while, Mingnan said frankly: "I really like him, so I want to please him and wait until we are in love before consummating the marriage."
Although Xie Wuyu was a little surprised after hearing this, he did not feel uncomfortable.
After all, he doesn't like Mingnan. It's up to her to like whoever she wants. It has nothing to do with him.
He was just surprised that Mingnan would say it so bluntly.
"what about now?"
Thinking of Lu Feiyu's firm and confident look, he was actually a little curious.
Mingnan shook his head. "I originally wanted to turn my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon only shines on the ditch (1)."
"When you enter the palace, I will find a chance to send them all away. After all, Lu Feiyu is a concubine listed in the imperial family's jade book. Unless he commits a serious crime, he cannot be easily moved. The remaining forces behind him are also intertwined and complex. We can't drive them all out at once. Give me some time."
"But I promise you, I will send them away."
Mingnan's expression was sincere and serious, which made Xie Wuyu feel confused. "I don't think I have agreed to marry you yet?"
Mingnan curved his lips and smiled, but did not respond. Instead, he changed the subject.
"When I went out this morning, I saw the flowers in the yard were in full bloom. I suddenly thought of you, so I picked a bunch."
She raised her hand and took out a small bunch of pink roses from the sleeve pocket of her wide sleeves.
The branches are emerald green, the petals are pink, and they are tied with silver-white ribbons. The shape is very unique. The wind blowing in from the window brings a faint fragrance.
Xie Wuyu was puzzled, "What is the inevitable connection between the two?"
Mingnan nodded slowly, "There were too many people in the palace before, so there was something I didn't say."
"What?"
Mingnan held the flowers in front of him, his eyes clear and bright, and said in a gentle voice: "Seeing Xie Lang is like seeing the beauty of spring. I want to keep spring and see you often."
What a great line: “I want to keep spring and see you often.”
Xie Wu Yu's heart trembled and his fingers curled up involuntarily.
He speaks sweet words so easily, no wonder he attracts so many women.
But looking at someone more beautiful than a flower, he had to admit——
He was also attracted for a moment.
"Don't you want to answer it? My hands are a little sore." Mingnan tilted his head and looked at him.
Seeing that her hands were indeed shaking a little, Xie Wu Yu hesitated for a moment, but still took the flower in his arms.
【Xie Lang is still soft-hearted. 】
Xie Wuyu: “…”
He raised his eyes and met Mingnan's gaze, and indeed saw a sly smile in her eyes.
It turns out he was just pretending.
He immediately glared at Mingnan.
Mingnan restrained his expression and asked, "Does Xie Lang have a sweetheart?"
Xie Wuyu shook his head.
"Since you don't have any, why don't you marry me and give it a try? Hearing is not as good as seeing. Whether life is good or bad, you have to experience it yourself to know."
Xie Wuyu raised his eyebrows, "But I don't want to be bound."
"I don't want to either."
Mingnan said, "Don't worry, I won't force you to do anything. I can make three rules with you. I need a legal husband, and you also need a wife. As a man of the Xie family, while you are full of glory, you must also sacrifice some things.
If you don't marry me, you will marry other princesses sooner or later. Compared with them, my face should be pleasing to the eye, right?"
Since you have to marry anyway, at least marry the best-looking one, so you can be with her every day and have a good meal together."
Xie Wu Yu was amused by her words.
He held the flower and thought for a moment.
She was right.
His future wife could only be chosen from among the royal family. Either he could marry her, or there were only two options: become the concubine of the Crown Princess and share a wife with his brother to help consolidate his position, or marry the daughter of another prince.
Nowadays, there are only a handful of daughters of marriageable age among the clan members, and their looks are... hard to describe.
In comparison, Mingnan is indeed the one who suits his taste the most.
Mutual benefit is also good. At least he can hear Mingnan's voice, which is also a kind of guarantee and will not be easily calculated.
After thinking it over, he had no reason to refuse.
He fiddled with the petals of the rose and looked up at Mingnan, "I can marry you, but as you said, I want three rules."
